Commander, you smell so good.

"Of course not, my lovely Z23, I'm not a person who likes to show off, just like if I made a million, I wouldn't tell anyone, and money can't be compared with you, Nimi-chan."

Jiang Zheng put the photos in a private file and did not allow others to see them. His own ship girls would be jealous if they saw them, not to mention outsiders.

"That's good. As long as you like it, Commander... I will try to do it..."

"Can we do it in the library?"

“…I really can’t do anything with you.”

Chapter 107 Let’s go eat barbecue together (tactical back bend)

"Commander, please don't do this next time. This is not allowed here!"

"Does that mean other places are okay?"

"...Commander! I'm getting angry!"

Wiping the unfinished white espresso at the corner of her mouth with a white tissue, the girl glared at him helplessly, then picked up the unfinished sugared coffee and drank it all in one go, swallowing the rich taste in her mouth temporarily, at least to avoid a strange taste as soon as she opened her mouth.

After wiping his mouth clean, Z23 subconsciously glanced around. Not noticing anyone else's gaze, he stared angrily at Jiang Zheng. "You can't do this in the library! You can't be so mean!"

"So what now? Are you still angry?"

"Of course, it would be bad if others found out, and there are people in charge of the library. If you're caught, you'll be severely fined."

"Besides, if this continues, today's date..."

She raised her pink little fist and placed it on Jiang Zheng's chest. The soft force could not cause any damage, but it was mostly a girl's coquettishness. You know, the library is a place for learning, but it was used for these things.

If he dares to bite me this time, I dare not even imagine what he will do next time.

Jiang Zheng would naturally dote on Z23 for her little complaint, holding her gentle body in his arms and kissing her earlobes, leaving her with no resistance at all. Only her crimson ears and face spoke volumes.

As long as you work hard, you might be able to move forward.

But fortunately, Jiang Zheng knew that he was still on a date today and it was just a simple emotional outburst. It would be meaningless to continue.

"Since it's a date, let's just stop here."

"Speaking of which, it's almost time for dinner. How about we put the books back together and go have a meal together, and then go out for some fun afterward?"

"Then it's settled!"

Feeling his gushing breath, Z23 had already planned to undress to satisfy him, but he didn't expect that he knew what was going to happen next. She put her hands down and nodded happily, and the little complaint in her heart disappeared without a trace.

Men and women working together made the work less tiring. With the cooperation of the two, they put most of the original books back, even the magazines that they had not read much, and put away their notes.

There was only one copy, the Advanced Edition of Naval Combat Guide, which was placed on a higher bookshelf. Given Z23's height, it naturally couldn't be placed there, so she had to climb up a wooden ladder to put it there.

"Hey~, that's good."

After putting the last book back, Z23 lowered his head and looked at Jiang Zheng. He saw that he was staring at him. What was so interesting about putting the book back?

But thinking about the intimate actions that would enhance their relationship, Z23 blushed slightly and shouted to Jiang Zheng:

"Commander, I'm about to come down~, can you try to catch me?"

"No problem, just come down."

Z23 withdrew her gaze, and Jiang Zheng stretched out his hand towards her. Z23 jumped down without hesitation and threw herself into his arms. The familiar and warm hug made Z not want to leave for a moment.

"Okay, you caught my princess steadily. Do you want to do it again?"

"No, just once in a while is fine. By the way, Commander, what were you looking at just now?"

She came out of his arms and smoothed the hem of her skirt with her hand. The hem of her skirt was messy when she jumped down just now, and it would easily get wrinkled if it was not smoothed out. She asked him again.

"Of course I'm looking at my Z23. Don't worry about the details, Z23, let's go barbecue together."

Adjusting the beret on her head, Jiang Zheng said with a unique smile.

Well, it’s a very pure girlish color.

Jiang Zheng and Z23 went to the registration desk of the library and returned the pass to Hu Teng. Everything went very smoothly, except that Hu Teng looked at him in a strange way. However, Jiang Zheng did not take it to heart. He had seen such inquiring looks before, just like seeing a giant panda in person.

After leaving the library and watching the gradually falling dusk, I took Z23's smooth little hand and walked on the main road. There were very few other ship girls to be seen along the way, only one or two, and they were almost leaving in a hurry, as if they were very busy.

Compared with himself and her walking on the road, Jiang Zheng felt that this feeling was quite magical.

Even in the restaurant, there weren't many people. After all, there weren't enough Iron-Blooded ship girls, and they had to maintain the waters of an entire country, so naturally the number of people was small, and there were only a few people to be seen.

Sitting in an empty seat, Z23 went to get the barbecue supplies. Although they could eat the pre-ordered meals, they still had to do it themselves if they wanted to enjoy a barbecue for two people, and they had to prepare everything by themselves.

Watching the girl's back as she left, Jiang Zheng went to the buffet area to get a few plates of barbecue. The pre-ordered dishes and self-service food were in different areas. After all, everyone was busy, either performing tasks or resting and entertaining, and there was very little time to enjoy the food.

However, when Jiang was about to pick up the tongs and the plate to select the good beef, he was bumped by a soft body.

"Hmm... did I bump into anyone? Sorry, Mr. Human, I didn't mean to do that."

Jiang Zheng almost dropped the beef in his hand. He turned around and looked at the culprit who bumped into him. The soft voice and good attitude made Jiang Zheng not want to blame him. Instead, he became happy when he saw who was in front of him.

The short silver hair with red highlights, the black and red military skirt, the iron-blooded scarf around the neck, and the black silk calf socks wrapped around the delicate legs.

There was a hint of trouble on her expressionless face, but her watery blue eyes were particularly attractive, like an angel.

"Are you...Spee?"

"Hmm? Mr. Human, do you know me? Yes, I am Admiral Count Spee. You can just call me Spee if you like. My sister and companions all call me that."

"Also, please allow me to express my apologies, Mr. Human, I didn't mean to do that."

Hearing his intimate call, Spey's little face turned slightly red, and she apologized to him sincerely in her tone.

However, a blue shark tail suddenly appeared behind him and moved slightly, successfully attracting Jiang Zheng's attention.

"Ah... this is, please don't mind it."

"It's okay, I don't mind, but this tail behind you..."

Jiang Zheng looked at the tail behind Spee with interest. He felt that it was more like something made of energy than a living thing. It was very novel.

However, the straightforward gaze made Spee catch his tail and he subconsciously took a step back.

She doesn't want to hurt others if she can help it.

But before the two of them could continue their conversation, several loud shouts were heard, all calling Spee's name.

"Sorry, my sister is calling me, please allow me to leave first"

"I will apologize privately."

After making an apologetic gesture, Spee hurried back to her sister. If she didn't go back quickly, she would definitely be misunderstood by her German sister.

By then, it will be hard to tell.

Chapter 108 Germany and Spey

"Commander, what took you so long?"

"Sorry, I just met a ship girl when I went there, it was Spee."

After Spey left, Jiang Zheng picked out the meatier parts on the spot. It took him more than ten minutes to do so. When he came back, Z23 had been waiting for a long time.

Next to the electric oven were drinks and snacks, as well as a small amount of seafood, but mostly vegetables. Jiang Zheng himself prepared a lot of meat and didn't choose many vegetables.

Because we are in a restaurant, we cannot use the outdoor charcoal grill, so we can only use an electric barbecue grill. Fortunately, the power of this electric grill is not small, almost the same as the one used outdoors.

As Jiang Zheng explained, he pressed the switch to turn on the power. Fresh beef and pork were placed on the rack. The gradually heating electric oven gave off an enticing aroma. The sizzling oil and the crispy outside and tender inside were mouth-watering. The sweet honey sauce brushed on them added a layer of golden crispness to the deliciousness, which really whetted one's appetite.

"It's not ready yet, let's wait a little longer."

"Well, it's okay Commander, we can eat together later."

"...Also regarding the matter with Spee, Admiral Count Spee, although she has a good temper, her sister might not have a good temper. I hope you won't argue when you meet."

"Her sister is Deutschland, the first ship of the Deutschland-class armored ship. She is like a princess in Iron Blood."

Staring at the delicious meat that was gradually entering the countdown to being ready to eat, Z23 made it clear to him in advance to avoid any bad conflicts due to some things at that time. This would not be a good thing for him, Spey or Germany.

With some selfish motives, Z23 hoped that his meeting with Spee would not attract the attention of Germany, otherwise this rare date might be ruined before it even entered the second half.

"A princess-like existence? It seems that she is very favored by you. Even you say so."

Holding Z23's little hand and feeling the small and soft touch, Jiang Zheng recalled the memories related to Germany.

Well, it’s the one that makes you squeeze sunscreen all over your swimsuit skin. I can only say that this one is the best.

It’s just that my personality is a little bit bad, maybe I need some mental correction?

"Well... because of the name and because we are members of the Iron Bloods, we will naturally treat our own people well."

“The most important thing is that I will remember the past.”

Holding his hand, Z23 recalled the past. Even though she was just a ship, she was from the Iron Blood Empire. Who would not know the meaning of this name?

Even if I am just a ship girl protecting humanity now, who doesn’t want their country to be the world’s number one country?

"Okay, I promise you, my lovely Z23"

"But you also know what it will cost me to agree to your promise, right?"

Rubbing her little hand, Jiang Zheng slowly placed his hand on her white and smooth thigh. Just this made Z23 blush, and she stared at him with pretended fierce eyes.

He is always being naughty all day long. Is his commander a pervert from somewhere?

After teasing the shy girl beside him a little, Jiang Zheng couldn't wait to taste the barbecue until its delicious juices and fragrance lingered around his nose.

But thinking that he had a girlfriend next to him, Jiang Zheng picked up a fork and picked up a piece of barbecued meat that was steaming and dripping with hot fat. He blew on it and waited until it was no longer so hot before he put it to Z23's mouth, making an "ah~" sound for her to taste it.

Sensing the gazes coming from all around, Z23 wanted to bury her head in embarrassment, but in the end, she opened her mouth with a blushing face to accept the food from her lover and savored it carefully.

"How is it? Is the meat grilled just right? If you grill it too long, the meat will be tough, and if you grill it too short, it will be raw. My grilling skills haven't declined."

“Mm, very delicious.”

"Would you like another piece?"

Jiang Zheng continued to fork another piece of grilled meat and spoke with a smile. His dark brown eyes were filled with affection and tenderness for the girl, which made Z23 feel embarrassed but secretly happy.

"Then have another piece. Once you finish this one, it'll be my turn to feed the Commander!"

"No problem, ah~"

Opening his mouth again and chewing the delicious food, Z23 felt very happy.

Seeing Jiang Zheng and Z23 being so close, the ship girls in the restaurant felt uncomfortable and sour. They didn't know where this inexplicable emotion came from, as it was obviously none of their business.

Especially Seydlitz. Although she had not shown up along the way, she had been secretly following Jiang Zheng and Z23 since they left the library together. Now she was eating a hamburger in a corner where they didn't notice her. There was an emotion called envy in her blue eyes, which reminded her of a song.

She shouldn't be here, she should be in the side room.

On the other side where everyone was feeling jealous, there were two small figures sitting in the side room. The one with long black hair and the one with short silver hair had one thing in common: the hair was highlighted long enough to reach the chest.

And now, Germany was looking at Spee with a puzzled look, an expression of disbelief on his face.

"Spee, what did you just say? Did you encounter that lowly creature when you went to pick out the meat?"

"Sister, he is not an inferior animal, he is a human being, and he has his own name, his name is Jiang Zheng."

While eating the cooked buffet, Spee corrected him and said that he should not use such rude and insulting words to talk about the other party, because he was obviously a member of the Iron Blood Empire.

"I don't care what his name is, I just know that he bumped into you! Spee, my sister! I won't allow anyone to hurt you like this!"

Germany waved his hand and didn't care about the title Spee said. The only thing he cared about now was that Spee was touched by a lower animal, and Spee wanted to apologize?

How could this be possible?! She had to strike hard, capture that human and use him as a servant 24 hours a day. Only then would she be satisfied.

"Sister, please don't do this. It will cause trouble for Mr. Jiang Zheng, and Sister Bismarck will probably be very angry."

Spei frowned on her pretty face. It was her fault in the first place. Now if her sister angered Jiang Zheng for something that was not worth it, she would definitely have to face the wall next.

Moreover, Mr. Jiang Zheng is Prince Eugen's spouse after all, and he is also a friendly person representing the navies of Sardinia and Iron Blood. If he is arrested with such a simple reason, something big will definitely happen.

"Spey, you must know that there is a famous saying in Donghuang: Anyone who offends my sister will be killed, no matter how far away he is!"

"But considering various factors, let's just capture him and make him our servant! Think about how many people want to be our shipgirl's servants but don't have this opportunity."

Germany crossed his legs and said with a contemptuous attitude, how many people wanted to be their ship girls' dogs but had no way, and now he was just asked to be a servant, which was really a bargain for him.
